    LogicMonitor
    For environments that mostly use VMs and baremetal devices, LogicMonitor is a fantastic choice. It lends itself especially well to situations where you want individual teams to be able to manage the monitoring and observability of their own domains, and if you take the time to customize it to your environment in the frontend, you can get to the point where your LogicMonitor platform administrators are very rarely needed.

    • Collection of SNMP traps a reliable and stable collection server for these is crucial to troubleshooting and time to ROS. Kiwi excels at this.
    • Easy to install set up and train users on.
    • The free version is a good free tool and handy to use for personal labs and other smalle use cases.
    • SNMP traps to user readable format is great, sometimes syslog and smnp messages can be hard to interpret and read with out a knowledge of how to do this.

    Cons
    LogicMonitor
    • Segmentation at an instance level not just the resource when clients are sharing the same device but shouldn't see each other's relevant data
    • ARM CPU support for collectors to allow for a lighter weight appliance deployment
    • WMI collection with a Linux collector so a windows collector would not be needed or a virtual appliance template that can be used to deploy collectors

    • Minimalistic; If you're looking for something with analysis features look elsewhere.
    • Operating System support is Windows only.

    This product has met virtually all of our needs. It was easy to implement and has been simple to support. Customization has been intuitive with many options available. They keep adding features and expanding available options. The future of LogicMonitor looks even better than it is today which is very promising. The management and support teams at LogicMonitor are always helpful

    Usability
    LogicMonitor
    Set up is super easy. Just stand up a small Linux or Windows server to act as a collector. There are no agents to install on monitored devices and all you need is SNMP or WMI access. When creating dashboards, all you have to do is find the widget on the device you want to show up and choose the menu option to add it.

    Kiwi Syslog has the best usability of any syslog server. While not being able to offer the most features, the ones it does have are intuitive and easy to work with. Everything that it has is where you think it should be. If you can't find it in the menus, it doesn't exist.

    The sales team support we received was top notch. They worked hand in hand to make sure the product met all expectations. So far we have not really had to work with support that much; we have worked with setup team after purchase to deploy product fully. No issues so far and we are four weeks in.

    Because the solution is so simple to use and implement, support wasn't very necessary. The one time I did call them to better understand where logs were stored, they were very helpful and friendly. Kiwi has been around for some time and not a lot has changed over the years, so support for it is pretty straightforward and quick.

    The implementation experience was awesome for me, as the LogicMonitor team was really helpful to us. They installed everything on our primary server and provided clear, intelligible explanations. They even trained our non-tech team on it as well. Therefore, my team and I had a very simple and pleasurable implementation experience.

    Our business used the trial period they provided on one of our systems and conducted sessions with all of this software. Our team tested all of these software options before deciding on LogicMonitor, as our business is expanding daily and we needed a system that could accommodate our growing workforce and automatically add systems to our network, which LogicMonitor alone provided.

    PRTG is a great package and very useful, but the jump from the free 100 sensor price model to the first tier of the paid model is WAY too expensive. SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server is very inexpensive and provides us with the results we needed for log monitoring.

    Haven't really used it but our initial onboarding PS was disappointing. Felt like we were being told what we needed to cover as opposed to what we wanted to cover. In addition, we were pushed into using the PS in tight time frames and we were not ready to do so.

    LogicMonitor
    • We Eliminated an on-prem monitoring tool which was in excess of 25 servers
    • A decrease in time to response from our Network Operations Center resulted in a more consistent client experience
    • Dynamic alert thresholds helped reduce alerting by about 10 to 15% as soon as we turned it on for volatile metrics like CPU and memory
